Yeah. When people says Boros they mean White/Red, I guess it's shorthand.

Some uses mana symbols to spell stuff. RUG (Red Blue Green) and BUG (Black Blue Green).

Zoo is a cheap aggro deck that contains weenies who self buffs ({Tarmogoyf}, {Kird ape}, {wild nacati}). Usually Naya to complicate things. I guess ya get it

Why bant?

Bant is one of the 5 shards of Alara, which contains only White, Green, and Blue mana. {Bant Panorama}, {Bant Sureblade} etc are all things that came from that shard. Now, that color combination, like all the shards of Alara, will always be remembered by the name of the Alara shard.

Speaking of which...why do we use U for Blue instead of using K for Black?  As in CMYK. = cyan magenta yellow black.
U for blue seems a less cool way to solve the B B issue...
